Wind power purchase agreement (PPA) prices continued to rise in the USA but remained largely stable in Europe during the third quarter of 2025, according to LevelTen Energy. In the USA, wind PPA prices increased by nearly 5% over the quarter and 14% year on year. The rise reflects growing development costs and tighter federal oversight of new wind projects.

As the USA seeks to reduce dependence on Chinese supply chains by increasing domestic oil and gas production, its offshore wind industry continues to face economic headwinds, including project delays, reduced tax incentives, and rising costs. According to Rystad Energy, new global offshore wind capacity is expected to reach 16 GW by the end of 2025, with around two thirds of that total being developed in China. By 2030, China’s offshore wind sector is forecast to represent 45% of global cumulative capacity, leaving the USA struggling to keep pace even if policies shift.

The global move towards cleaner energy remains steady despite a sharp slowdown in the United States caused by recent policy reversals. According to the ninth edition of DNV’s Energy Transition Outlook, the US slowdown will have only a marginal effect on global progress, with momentum continuing elsewhere, particularly in China.

WindEurope reports that European countries are moving away from “negative bidding” in offshore wind auctions, a practice where developers pay for the right to build projects, which has often discouraged investment. The shift comes as the EU aims to increase offshore wind capacity from 21 GW today to 46 GW by 2030, and eventually 300 GW by 2050.

Renewable electricity generation continues to grow strongly worldwide, with global capacity forecast to more than double by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency’s latest *Renewables 2025* report. The IEA notes that this rapid expansion, led by solar photovoltaic (PV), is taking place amid supply chain constraints, grid integration issues, financial pressures, and evolving policy environments. The report projects that global renewable power capacity will increase by 4,600 GW by 2030 — roughly equivalent to the combined total generation capacity of China, the European Union, and Japan. Solar PV will account for around 80% of this growth, driven by falling costs and faster permitting, followed by wind, hydro, bioenergy, and geothermal.

Japan has designated two new areas for offshore wind development. The government has identified waters off Akita City in the north and Hibikinada, near Fukuoka in the south, as ‘promising zones’ for future offshore wind farms. Under Japan’s regulatory framework, sites progress from ‘preparatory’ to ‘promising’ and finally to ‘promotion zones’, the stage preceding auction and full-scale development.
